NCT mistake

Emmser

I traded my car into a garage and it had 82000km on the odometer, a 2014 Reg. Today they called as the NCT documentation shows at the last NCT, one year ago, it had 72000 Miles not Km.

Clearly NCT made a mistake as I wouldn't know how to clock a car!

Unfortunately, where I got it serviced a year ago wrote, 72000miles down in one place and 72000 km in another. The sticker read, next service due at 82000 km.

The garage man said he would try contact the nct office tomorrow but I think that's closed because of covid.

Anyone know where that leaves us? Anyone have this happen and NCT changed their records?

I bought the car in 2017 from a garage in Ireland, it was a UK import so I'm sure that car dealer has documentation showing the km on the car coming into the country, could this help?

NCT wont change their records. It's written in big highlighting to check the odometer reading before leaving the centre on the top of the report. I wouldnt regard it as a big deal though if its clearly a mistake.

Tell them it looks like it was a mistake by the NCT centre and cannot be rectified now. Tell them to run a history check on the car (which they should have done at time of you trading it in) to verify the correct mileage if that's their agenda otherwise I don't know what else they are expecting from you.

They should just have a blanket rule of everything being entered in KM, regardless of the car. If its a pre 05 or an import with the odometer in miles, they should just convert on a calculator and enter it on the system in km. If anyone wants to convert it back for their own head, they can do that.

We're 15 years in now, time to simplify.

I had this before on a car I bought but I caught it before buying the car. Everything was in KM and tracked perfectly then one NCT was miles and then back to tracking perfectly.


It came up on the carcheck and I rang the company. They said it was odd but they had seen before but because it had tracked they said it was probably an error for someone into a box. Talked to garage and they said the same. In the end I rang the garage who done all the services at that time and they checked on system and said it was an error.



Not much help but nobody was going to change any system to update

I have a UK import. It is miles



THe flood of imports into Ireland is the issue. A large majority cannot change from miles to km on the clock so thats why both options


Stop imports and it iwll stop the problem
